  • This was the 24th December 1968 and waiting to see the first live lunar pictures with the first humans in orbit about 69 mikes above the lunar surface.. The first live pictures 60 thousand feet above the lunar surface were not perfect or good quality live pictures. The big improvement with good quality live pictures was from Apollo 14. As even with Apollo 11 on the moons the first live pictures of the first humans on the lunar were still not good until Apollo 14 when improvements with the live pictures from the lunar surface.

    The second link was also on the live BBC 2 live broadcast of Apollo 8. But sadly on YouTube the most interesting part of the BBC TV live broadcast of the first live broadcast above the lunar surface with live pictures  was towards the end of the broadcast of the kiv  lunar as seen from Apollo 8 and I could not find anything of the rest of this part of this live broadcast from BBC TV on YouTube. So I’ve to find this part towards the of the USA original broadcast of those live pictures  although the who,e of the original BBC TV broadcast did cover this. I’m not a Christian and don’t go to church. But probably what was said from Apollo 8 on Christmas Eve evening in the UK had me moved although as I say I’m not a christian, Bur here is the second link which was said by those 3 USA Astronaughts and called: The Christmas Mesage!

    The above link is a documentary about Apollo 17. Which was in many ways the most successful Apollo mission of all but is now largely forgotten.All of the Apollo mission where covered live on BBC 1 and BBC 2. The Apollo missions where planned to go on for many years and there where plans for the first human to land on Mars in 1986. But that came to an abrupt end in 1972 with the last launch of the Apollo Missions and the last Apollo launch with Apollo 17 in 1972. This documentary lasts 2 hours 50 minutes.

  • Well I managed to get a photo of the moon phase on the 31st January 

  • Please excuse the Knat however.

    whenever I tryed to put my binoculars up to the camara at the moon 

    he or she wanted to be in the photo or at least fulfil its dream and fly to the moon 

    You can still see the moon phase the even though I couldn’t use the binoculars cause of the Knat in the way at the time of this specific  photo.  I thought at least I managed to get one with my binoculars 

     

  • That’s all of them. I wonder if some species that are attracted to things like warmth or light ever mistaken the light from the moon or the moon itself for the sun when it’s bright. Besides the moon doesn’t really have its own light as such.
  • The moon actually gets its light from the sun so What do you think?

    This was the Apollo launch on BBC1 and was Apollo 17 to land on the lunar surface broadcast live overnight. Most of BBC TV’s original broadcast was wiped clean from over the years sadly and only few snippets of the original live broadcasts of all the Apollo Missions from BBC are now available to see with James Burke and Patrick Moore.

    These are the lost tapes of the BBC 1 coverage of the live coverage of the lunar walk in July 1969. Part of this tape which had been recorded by a member of the public are in parts not good quality. This while continuish live overnight broadcast from before midnight until we’ll into the next day and we’ll after 6.00am was the UK’s first broadcast from before midnight until we’ln to the afternoon of the next day. There where occasional late night broadcasts before, such as General Elections. But the General Election broadcasts would finish 3.00am. Most BBC TV and ITV would close down around 11.00pm every night including weekends. So this another first for UK TV.
